it's harder for governor romney. but it's close enough that i think many of us are going to wait and see what-- how the vote counting goes. >> schieffer: anthony, you do all this work for cbs news. you're in charge of our poll and all of that. how do you see this thing breaking down? what do you, the closest of the battleground states are right now? >> certainly, certainly virginia is neck and neck. that's a toss-up. i think colorado is razor close. i think wisconsin is really close walz. you know, we talk a lot about ohio. it's obviously critical. but let's not forget somebody has to take two or three, i think, of those, also, to get over the top. you know, stewart said something interesting, too, that i want to pick up on about these polls-- because all of this is about those state polls. so much of the argument this year has been about the composition of the polls, which means the composition of the electorate. there are too many older folks, too many young, too many democrates, too many republicans. but i think t

romney is doing better in florida, virginia, and colorado. the president is doing well in the middle east. in terms of this debate, the president is-- it's a continuity debate for the president, basically. he has an ad out now on the economy where a guy with a close-cropped haircut at the end says, "stick with this guy want am well, if you're watching him talk about foreign policy, the president has a better case to make on want "stick with this guy." for undecide voters judging the economy and all kinds of different things, the president can make that case-- stick with me. don't change horses in midstream on foreign policy. it may not be your number one issue but it slides over on the argument he's making on all issues. >> schieffer: you know, i think it's entirely possible you would have one of these candidates win the popular vote and another win the electoral vote. >> i think that's possible. you could. it depends. it's so tight now, we really don't know. there was a period where the national polls showed a big surge for romney. that woul

53 obama, 25 mitt romney. and i think one thing that that reflects is that kind of peripheral but debates we've had during the course of the election about both rape and contraception. and so we recently had the senate candidate from indiana, richard murdoch, making some, i think, unfortunate remarks about how if a pregnancy results from rape the woman should continue it because that's god's intention. this points out the fundamental problem, i think, that the republican party has when it comes to dealing with abortion. they can have one of two positions. either the republican party platform position, which is no abortion in any casees, rape or incest, which is rejected as extreme. or you can have the mitt romney position in which allows for exceptions. in which case you say, but if abortion is the take of a human life, if the fetus is a person from the moment of conception, why is the method of conception matter? and i think the republicans are going to continue to get themselves tied up in this. >> sure, the

a romney man. how do you think he's doing? >> well, we all said some tough things about each other. that's what competition is about and contests, but i think governor romney is very focused on the issues that are important to the vast majority of the people out there, and that's chet. this president has overseen the loss of 1.4 million jobs. we're now into the greatest deficit position this country has ever been in because of the uncontrolled spending that has gone on with the stimulus program. so mitt romney is very steady, job-creating focus on allowing the private sector to create those jobs is spot on. most americans understand that. they're ready to have a change in washington, d.c. in 2015. >> schieffer: let me ask you, the thing that was at the top of the news this week, of course, was immigration. we heard the president make his announcement he's not going to deport the children of some of the illegals, children who were brought in here when they were-- when they were very young. during th
